Doug Collins can fuck off. Hate that POS

Seriously. I turned off c-span several times just to calm the fuck down.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

LMFAO at right wing talk in Dallas during my drive to work. Trying to sell the bill as Obamacare 2.0.

Watching the stream on the new YT design and it seems like I can't hide the chat. Really really stupid shit in there

Looks like you can hide the chat with a button under it.

3rd district is like South Jersey and this dude is holding a town hall on the 10th. His Facebook is flooded with pissed off people.

Oh boy. Not my district but I'm surrounded by it so I may have to go and yell at this piece of moldy dick cheese

 

[Extollere]

Republicans make it sound like Obamacare is this national nightmare everyone wants to kill.

How can they call the former garbage system "the best in the world"?

"I woke up from a bad dream! Someone else had HEALTHCARE... and I.. was helping to pay for it!!"

This thesis is about to be proved one way or another.

 

[bebop242]

I hope everyone that votes for this bill loses in 2018.

I hope everyone that votes for this bill is sentenced to burn in hell for all eternity by the god they so like to claim they pray to.

This. I hope nothing but bad things to happen to anyone who votes yes to this bill.

Beyond ridiculous they exempt themselves too. People should have pitchforks on the street over this.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Just screaming into the void over here. This is unfathomably wicked.

Pretty much what it seems like.

Popout the chat and minimize it.

Its asking me to sign in when I go near the chat so maybe that is the issue. I don't see something to hide it in the new design.

Popout the chat and minimize it.

Good idea. I'll give this a shot or switch temporarily to the old design.

What are the voting on right now.

 

[zou]

Expect to also see more bankruptcies, unless of course they die first...

 

[Krakatoa]

Do I see a Dem who voted yes?

 

[Eidan]

Republicans are exempting members of Congress and their staff from the provisions regarding pre-existing conditions. That's all you really need to know about this piece of shit legislation and the people pushing it.

 

[GreyWind]

Do I see a Dem who voted yes?

Yep, and two Republicans voted Nay

 

[JetBlackPanda]

What Democrat voted yes

 

[BitStyle]

Fuck the democrat who voted yes to this bullshit

 

[Applesauce]

What are the voting on right now.

To end the debate and bring the bill up for a vote.

[RDreamer]

Is this the actual AHCA vote right now?

To end the debate and bring the bill up for a vote.

Ok, that's what I thought.

 

[Thaedolus]

I mean I'm pro ACA, but this graph is pretty terrible trying to a) narrow the cause down to that one factor and b) starting right before the decline ends eliminating any historical context.

 

[Swass]

Never mind, this isn't the vote.

 

[e_i]

Is this the actual AHCA vote right now?



Ok, that's what I thought.

No. It's to end debate.

 

[GreyWind]

I think it was a counting error because the 1 dem has been wiped off.

and it's back

and gone again.

lol prob a mistake

 

[Lord Frieza]

What Democrat voted yes

Fuck the democrat who voted yes to this bullshit

Calm guys, he isn't voting for the bill, he's voting about whether the bill should be brought to vote.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Calm guys, he isn't voting for the bill, he's voting about whether the bill should be brought to vote.

People are going crazy.

 

[Netherscourge]

This thesis is about to be proved one way or another.

This is exactly what it looks like.

Lemmings. All a bunch of Lemmings.

 

[RDreamer]

Have the dragged back Chaffetz's traitorous ass to vote on this crap today?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

lol did the House just try to pass this bill on a voice vote?

knew they would pull that.

 

[Krakatoa]

Calm guys, he isn't voting for the bill, he's voting about whether the bill should be brought to vote.

Thanks I can calm down again now.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Trump loves bankruptcies. Another for the W column.

 

[FrontalMonk]

so is THIS the AHCA vote, then?

I don't think it is...but I don't really know how the house procedures work.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

so is THIS the AHCA vote, then?

A recorded vote to advance to vote on the bill, I'm pretty sure. Dems requested it be a recorded vote.

 

[TheStruggler]

how many vote does it need to pass, or is it as long as there are more votes in favour wins? Canadian here

 

[Swass]

Trump is going to consider this a win because Polosi is upset..

 

[commedieu]

(Chucks a molotov)

 

[Vincent Alexander]

So what is the exact number needed to pass this? Or is that represented by "H RES" number?

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

There's a Politico article on how well-funded lobbies in the health care industry are actively opposed to the repeal.

With the uncertainty a major health law change would cause, that's not a huge surprise, but Republicans apparently haven't even been engaging the industry, doctors groups, hospitals, etc. in the repeal discussion the way Dems did when they were crafting the ACA originally.

They have isolated themselves and are essentially out on a limb to take down the ACA despite the risks to the American people, the economy, and their political lives.

 

[Swass]

223

 

[Ourobolus]

They need 216 votes to pass the bill.

But this is HR 308, which isn't the healthcare bill correct? I thought that was HR 1628?

It's all about dealing a blow to Obama, nothing else.

 

[terencecah]

I wasn't paying attention to politics back then, but how DID obama pass ACA back then?

 

[akileese]

A recorded vote to advance to vote on the bill, I'm pretty sure. Dems requested it be a recorded vote.

So they're doing a recorded vote to see if they should bring it to a vote?

 

[Zolo]

their political lives.

From what can be understood, it seems like Trump's personally threatened holdouts.

So, it's a Friday, is what you're saying

lol, what else would it be. Republicans made sure it's even harder to file for bankruptcy, requiring Chapter 13 filing for debt that previously could have been cleared under Chapter 11. And medical debt is the leading course of bankruptcy, with an estimated 25-30% of all filings.

This chart also correlates with the earlier one:
